literal alignment:
Did the literal that originally gave John Baker trouble contain an
odd number of hexadecimal digits?
No relevant. If you define a X string with an odd number of hex
digits it will be right padded so the first digit is a X"0" (ie:
X"12345" is saved as if it were defined as X"012345").
His problem is that while having an even number of digits it has an
odd number of pairs of digits. This caused the literal to be placed
after the last HW aligned literal and an odd length literal be
HW/Non-HW aligned depending on how many bytes it is past that HW
aligned literal (which could be FW or DW aligned since these qualify
as HW alignment).
